Shintani-domain formula for the Brumer–Stark unit

About 4 years old · traced to

Let ee be the order of p\mathfrak p in GfG_{\mathfrak f}, and suppose that pe=(π)\mathfrak p^e=(\pi) with π\pi totally positive and π≡1(modf)\pi\equiv1\pmod{\mathfrak f}. Let D\mathcal D be a Shintani domain, let λ\lambda be π\pi-good for D\mathcal D, and let b\mathfrak b be a fractional ideal of FF relatively prime to SS and λ‾\overline\lambda. Shintani-domain formula conjecture. The element up,λ(b,D)∈Fp∗u_{\mathfrak p,\lambda}(\mathfrak b,\mathcal D)\in F_{\mathfrak p}^* depends only on the class of b∈Gf/⟨p⟩\mathfrak b\in G_{\mathfrak f}/\langle\mathfrak p\rangle and no other choices, including D\mathcal D, so it may be written up,λ(σb)u_{\mathfrak p,\lambda}(\sigma_{\mathfrak b}). It lies in Up\mathcal U_{\mathfrak p} and satisfies up,λ(σb)≡1(modλ)u_{\mathfrak p,\lambda}(\sigma_{\mathfrak b})\equiv1\pmod\lambda. Moreover, for every fractional ideal a\mathfrak a of FF prime to SS and λ‾\overline\lambda,

up,λ(σab)=up,λ(σb)σa.u_{\mathfrak p,\lambda}(\sigma_{\mathfrak a\mathfrak b})=u_{\mathfrak p,\lambda}(\sigma_{\mathfrak b})^{\sigma_{\mathfrak a}}.

This is the first author's conjectural pp-adic analytic formula. The source gives no resolution evidence for this candidate, although the present paper proves equality of the resulting formula with the Brumer–Stark element.
